Fluffy Caramel Pie image

I bake a variety of pies, but this is the one my husband likes best. The gingersnap crumb crust is a tangy contrast to the sweet, lighter-than-air caramel filling. It's the perfect way to end a meal. -Ginger Hendricksen, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin

This pie is not worth the effort. The crust is dry and crumbly, and the filling is bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. The crust is nice and flaky, and the filling is creamy and smooth.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. It was still tasty, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for.
